DENVER (AP) – Nolan Arenado was intentionally walked twice by Miami to face the cleanup hitter, Trevor Story .
On both occasions, Story delivered. He relishes having the big moment in his hands.
Next up, an even bigger moment for Story and the Rockies – trying to lock up their first postseason spot since 2009.
Ian Desmond hit a three-run homer as part of a six-run second inning and the playoff-chasing Rockies beat Miami 15-9 on Wednesday, setting up a weekend to remember at Coors Field.
The Rockies have three games left and cling to a 1 1/2-game lead over Milwaukee, which played Cincinnati later in the evening. St. Louis trailed by 2½ games heading into its contest against Chicago.
